Roz - you strike me as pretty much the only person on this thread who has kids ! Lots of people with plenty to say about what beliefs and traditions to pass on but no experience of how difficult parenting is

That was positive social change. Instead, we are today faced with an attempt to normalize mental illness (gender dysphoria), and then to move beyond that and compel speech from people, forcing others to participate in their delusion. God forbid you object to this rhetoric and don't think there are 71 genders, or refuse to go out of your way to use pronouns to help someone reassure themselves of their subjective view of themselves; the social consequences of defending your beliefs can be devastating. The 60s and 70s movements looked like genuine movements of love and understanding, as opposed to today's movements of being offended for everyone and everything except for yourself, for voting against your own self interests, for justifying violence against viewpoints which are not your own, and for making arguments from the position of "i feel." No one gives a **** about your feelings, especially facts.

I will intentionally misgender people when given the opportunity, and intentionally say things which are offensive, because I believe if we don't use our rights then we lose them. We must fight against this tidal wave of PC culture, soy lattes, and the worst of all; social justice warriors. These people are absolute parasites, and I fear them much more than I do the far-right, that's because liberals and conservatives alike all denounce the far-right racists. However, in contrast, the far-left SJW's who use violence to achieve their aims are given a TREMENDOUS amount of cover by organizations like CNN and MSNBC, and many politicians as well who engage in moral relativism.

Tbh, I think it is. I remember when Polly started this thread and I had no idea what a millenial was. I haven't seen any traits of the so-called millenials in my child or those of my friends who all have millenial children. Perhaps I'm mixing in the wrong circles ;). It's the same when JR starts banging on about safe spaces etc.Really, I have no idea what he's on about. Makes me wonder what planet Americans are on tbh, or perhaps the UK has a lack of millenial children aka spolit brats.

I think every generation condemns the children of the next anyway. They're too rude, no manners, expect something for nothing. Really, none of this is anything new. Within each new generation there have always been freeloaders, but the majority of people go to work and get on with life.

so many Americans who EXPECT OTHER PEOPLE to buy their food, pay off their college loans, chip in for the mortgage, take care of their health care

It does appear to be more of an American thing then. I don't know anyone on this side of the pond who would expect any of that.

[Moved from]: Need respondents for student research project that will impact personal transportations in Europe

Hello everyone,

We are group of Czech students who are trying to change the future of personal transportation in Europe. We believe we are doing the very important thing for us all, and you personally can enjoy better traveling within Europe in the near future. Please help us by filling a short, 3-minute questionnaire on this subject.

Poland has a great impact on personal transportation in Europe so your responses would be really valuable for us. Thank you very much in advance :)

HRD way of Apostille is little more time consuming and I am going for the alternate SDM one. Is it enough for Polish Study Visa or can it cause any problem? There is no particular information available about this in any forum. Can anyone shed some light on this? Cause in both ways the end result is MEA Apostille stamp. Any clarification by anyone applying for student visa or anyone else with information can help me with this. Much appreciated.

So, My query was whether Polish Consulate is one of those countries that do not accept the shortcut way or are they fine with it? Because Poland student visa process is little lenient compared to few other countries.
